Question:

which device stores energy?

A)transformerB)inductorC)resistor

Answer:

None of these STORE energy on their own. Is this a serious question?
B In the magnetic field Capacitors store energy in the electrostatic field
A resistor does not store energy. both an inductor and a transformer ( which is made of multiple inductors ) store energy in the magnetic field. Consider a transformer where no current is drawn from the output. Current is applied to the input. Where does the energy go? Into the magnetic field. And this energy is returned a quarter cycle later so the transformer does not waste the energy supplied.
